RIP Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) (1939-2012)

After the passing of Ralph McQuarrie, sad to hear that another great artist has died, Jean Giraud, or more famously known by his Moebius psudenom, he was 73.

Mostly known in his native France for “Les Aventures de Blueberry,” the Old West saga that debuted in 1963, and his work on the magazine Heavy Metal in the late 1970's.

He was also brought in as a concept artist on films like Alien, Tron, Willow, The Abyss and The Fifth Element.
